[uPDATE: May 17, 2012] We continue to work outstanding Marketplace issues. Performance continues to improve on the Marketplace web site. With our deploy last week, we fixed a couple of JIRAs and order processing sped up, which led to some orders getting stuck in the Queued state (which means no money has been taken from the customer nor have any items been delivered). Orders got stuck because other portions of the system struggled to keep up. Stuck orders were Aborted, and a fix was made to decrease the number of orders getting stuck in the Queued state going forward while we work on a longer term fix. Here is the status of the remaining issues: (WEB-4587) Listings show up with images from other Merchants listings Current status: we have identified the problem and are working on testing the fix. (WEB-4696) Deleted listings appearing in search results for consumers and in Merchant Admin. Current status: we continue to work on this issue, and have decreased the incidence of these occurrences. (WEB-4441) Orders stuck in Being Delivered Current status: we are actively working on this issue and will focus our fixes on Direct Delivery purchases. (WEB-4567) Bulk delete failing. Current status: the work-around on this is to delete each item. We continue to work on resolving this. One other question that has come up frequently as we get close to June 1, is around Direct Delivery migration dates. We will not be requiring Merchants to migrate to Direct Delivery before August 1, 2012, and will give at least a 4 week notice for any shutdown dates. The Commerce Team
